[Boost-users] [serialization] tuples and portable_binary_archive

I used boost serialize with some smaller projects, which always worked
nicely. But now I want to use it on a bigger one. And I wonder why some
things seem to be missing.

- tuple: There is code on the Internet in various places for bridging
boost::serialize with boost::tuple. But why isn't there an official
version in either boost::serialize or boost::tuple?

- portable_binary_archive: There are also some implementations around,
one even in the examples of boost::serialization. But why is it not in
the official library itself?

Sure I could use the code I found, but it would feel better if it was
part of the library. That's especially true for serialization where I
want to be 99.99999999% sure, the data can always be read back in.
